MT. HERMON — Hollie Boggs scored 15 points to lead Southern Alamance to a 49-36 victory against visiting Graham and became the fourth girl in Patriot history to reach the 1,000-point milestone, in a non-conference girls’ basketball game Friday night.

Boggs, who also had six steals and six assists, entered Friday night’s contest needing 12 points to achieve the mark. With the Patriots leading 39-24 with 5:22 left in the game, Boggs drove the lane for a layup and got fouled. She then stepped to the foul line and knocked down the free throw for the 1,000-point plateau.

“It’s amazing, and such a great feeling,” said Boggs, a Southern Alamance senior. “It feels really good, and I have to thank my teammates for getting me involved.”

Boggs will put her name in the Southern Alamance record book again with her next made 3-pointer. She hit two shots from behind the arc to tie the record of 120 3-pointers.

“Hollie has been a warrior here for four years now,” said Southern Alamance coach Chris Miller. “It’s a good accomplishment and special honor for her. She works her tail off, and I’m proud of her.”

-- WILLIAMS 38, CUMMINGS 29: The Williams High School girls’ basketball team overcame offensive woes to defeat visiting Cummings High School, and Dajea Scott led the Bulldogs (3-1) with 15 points. She was the only player to make a 3-point shot in the game. She had two 3s in the first half and accounted for eight points to give Williams a 13-9 halftime lead.

Williams coach Tommy Cole was less than impressed with his team’s effort, other than a five-point game from freshman Carter Hussey.

Cummings (2-1) was led by Aundrea Walker’s 16 points. But the Cavaliers, who cut the deficit to three points in the third quarter, were unable to make up for a first quarter in which they didn’t score.

“When you don’t score in the first quarter, that’s a bad sign,” Cummings coach Freddie Shoffner said. “We played hard the other three quarters. That first quarter just really killed us.”
